BELOW: Loverboy played their second sold-out show in as many years in 1983. Here's a photo of guitarist Paul Dean and singer Mike Reno from that show. Click here to enlarge photo.

Loverboy's Paul Dean (left) and Mike Reno at a 1983 Civic Center performance.

August of 1983 was quite a month for concerts at the Civic Center. In that month alone, the CCCC had at or near sell-out crowds for Jackson Browne (below), Talking Heads, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Loverboy and James Taylor. Click here to enlarge photo.
